The test were run and the verdict is in. SRK resident tech genius Toodles ran tests to finally get to the bottom of ongoing speculation about wireless joysticks and their performance as compared to wired joysticks.

You can pre-order now here for a Dec 24 Delivery and Get 1 for $39.95 or 2 for $69.95. The normal retail price is $79.95 for 1!

Hit the jump for a video showing the Joystick and some chicks playing Streetfighter on it…
The pre-release of this Hori stick officially dubbed the “Fighting Stick EX2” will be hitting the stores next month August 7th for around $60. The joystick is wired and features a headphone port for all the Xbox live shit talkers.
